Social Amnesia: A Critique of Conformist Psychology

info:

Author(s): Russell Jacoby
Publisher: Beacon Pr
Date : 1975
Pages : 176
Format : PDF
Language : English
ISBN-10 : 0807029653
ISBN-13 : 9780807029657

Russell Jacoby defines social amnesia as
society's repression of remembrance - society's
own past. In this book, Jacoby excavates the
critical and historical concepts that have
fallen prey to the dynamic of a society that
strips them both of their historical and critical
content. Social Amnesia is an effort to remember
what is perpetually lost under the pressure of
society. It is simultaneously a critique of
present practices and theories in psychology.
Jacoby's new self-evaluation has the same sharp
edge as the book itself, offering special insights
into the evolution of psychological theory during
the past two decades. In his probing, self-critical
new introduction, Jacoby maintains that any serious
appraisal of psychology or sociology, or any
discipline, must seek to separate the political
from the theoretical. He discusses how in the years
since Social Amnesia was first published society has
oscillated from extreme subjectivism to extreme
objectivism, which feed off each other and constitute
two forms of social amnesia: a forgetting of the past
and a pseudo-historical consciousness. Social Amnesia
contains a forceful argument for "thinking against
the grain - an endeavor that remains as urgent as
ever." It is an important work for sociologists,
psychologists, and psychoanalysts.

Robert Kaplan and Ellen Kaplan, "The Art of The Infinite: The Pleasures of Mathematics"
Oxford | ISBN: 0-19-514743-X | 324 Pages | PDF | 2.6 Mb



We commonly think of ourselves as little and lost in the infinite stretches of time and space, so that it comes as a shock when the French poet Baudelaire speaks of “cradling our infinite on the finite seas.” Really? Is it ourself, our mind or spirit, that is infinity’s proper home? Or might the infinite be neither out there nor in here but only in language, a pretty conceit of poetry?
We are the language makers, and what we express always refers to something—though not, perhaps, to what we first thought it did. Talk of the infinite naturally belongs to that old, young, ageless conversation about number and shape which is mathematics: a conversation most of us overhear rather than partake in, put off by its haughty abstraction. Mathematics promises certainty—but at the cost, it seems, of passion. Its initiates speak of playfulness and freedom, but all we come up against in school are boredom and fear, wedged between iron rules memorized without reason.

The Battle for Barrels - Peak Oil Myths & World Oil Futures



Profile Books Ltd |-| ISBN-13: 978 1 84668 012 0 |-| PDF |-| English |-| 249 Pages |-| 1.08 MB

Introduction
“This book effectively undermines the validity of the theory of Peak Oil and comprehensively demolishes the arguments of its proponents. It is a ‘must read’ antidote to the gloom and doom conclusions of oil scarcity.”
Peter R. Odell, Professor Emeritus of International Energy Studies, Erasmus University, Rotterdam (author, Why Carbon Fuels Will Dominate the 21st Century’s Global Energy Economy) “This is a serious work that serious readers should read, and Duncan Clarke offers a smart and insightful survey of one of the most intriguing issues of our times – Is the world running out of oil? – explaining why the doomsayers are wrong. He diagnoses the psychological mindset, the historical mistakes and the current complexities concerning the evaluation of how much oil lies beneath, and shows a positive view of our energy future.” Leonardo Maugeri, senior vice-president, Eni SpA (author, The Age of Oil: The Mythology, History, and Future of the World’s Most Controversial Resource)
“Duncan Clarke provides a brilliant insight into the world upstream, Peak Oil, international corporate strategies, geopolitics, business, economics and technology. His unique worldwide experience provides an astute analysis of critical issues that clarify and interpret the historical future of oil and the modern world in the 21st century.” Dr Alfred J. Boulos, former senior director, International, Conoco Inc; former president, Association of International Petroleum Negotiators and European Petroleum Negotiators Group
“This book portrays an independent mind and Duncan Clarke’s analysis and interesting opinions shed much light. Few things are trickier than reserve estimates. We had the rule: ‘You will never know the reserves of a field, before it is depleted … and even then.’ What about reserves of not yet discovered fields? Gerry Dixon, former president of Petroconsultants, always said: ‘If we badly need it, we will find it.’ Clarke’s optimism on the world is justified. One day oil may be depleted, unless humanity does not need it before.”
Christian Suter, CEO, Petroconsultants, 1987–98, and member of the board 1968–99
“The Battle for Barrels lucidly shows that not all is known on potential oil reserves-in-ground, and Peak Oil is very wrong on its view that such reserves are now fully known and finite. Clarke credibly demonstrates that there is much conventional oil to be discovered while economics and above-ground factors such as global access and resource nationalism, plus technologies, will shape real oil world futures in ways unlike Peak Oil theorists presume, especially given the Earth’s vast oil endowment.”
Fred Dekker, managing director, Wessex Exploration; former vice-president, Asia Pacific New Ventures, Unocal Corporation

A brief introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the Ubuntu operating system, and the philosophy that underpins it. The fact you’re reading this book might mean you already know about Ubuntu, but one or two readers might have bought the Print Edition of this book (or downloaded the PDF) on a whim to see what the fuss is all about. These people might lack specifics, and remain unconvinced of the benefits of Ubuntu. So, I’m going to burn through some precious pages of this slim volume to evangelize and explain just a little.

What is Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is a version of the Linux operating system. An operating system
is the software that “runs your computer”. Microsoft Windows is the
world’s most popular operating system, at least for desktop computers,
but Linux is a completely separate endeavor.

GNU
The ball started rolling back in the 1980s, when a hugely talented computer scientist called Richard Stallman decided to create a clone of a venerable operating system called Unix. At the time, Unix ran many of the world’s industrial and academic computer systems. Stallman did this because Unix was becoming increasingly proprietary—it was no longer permitted to share its source code (the listings created by programmers), as had happened since the inception of Unix in 1969.
This was anathema to Stallman, who believed sharing software was natural and healthy. He decided his version of Unix would always be freely available, and invented the legal and ethical concept of Free Software to ensure this happened. Put simply, Free Software says users should always have the freedom to share software, without restrictions. On a technical level, Free Software guarantees the right to view and also modify source code, or even use it as a basis to make a new program. However, any additions or changes must be released as Free Software too, so others can continue to benefit. NOTE The Free Software ideal is enshrined in a software license applied to all Free Software projects. It’s called the GNU Public License, or GPL. This is like Microsoft’s End User License Agreement that comes with Windows (and you see whenever you install Windows from scratch), except whereas the Microsoft EULA prohibits sharing Windows under any circumstances, the GPL says exactly the opposite—that you can always share the software! Stallman called his version of Unix “GNU” (pronounced G-noo). This is a recursive acronym, standing for GNU’s Not Unix. In other words, the acronym refers to itself—a joke of a type favored by programmers.

What If Medicine Disappeared



State University of New York Press, |-| ISBN 978–0–7914–7306–1 |-| PDF |-| English |-| 247 Pages |-| 1.14 MB

Introduction
“What if medicine disappeared?” I blurted.
“Disappeared?” Fran repeated the question. “What do you mean?”
I was trying to imagine what the world would look like without Western medicine. Gone would be primary care physicians, surgeons, psychiatry—all the various medical specialties. There would be no treatment for trauma, nor fractures. Sufferers from the common cold would need to recover without their physician’s help. There would be no blood transfusions or organ transplants, nor would there be emergency or critical care of any sort. Pharmaceutical companies would be gone, as would the drugs they manufacture—as would the placebo effects from those drugs! Perhaps it was the wine—a favorite bottle from the Rhone Valley— that stimulated my question. Or maybe it was the spring air. Fran and I were just finishing a lovely pasta and homemade pesto dinner on our deck, our table framed by pots of bright red geraniums. As though on cue, a huge heron had flown by moments ago, its wings pumping air in slow motion. In the dusky eve, tree frogs began their noisy chant. Less poetically, it might have been an editorial in the New England
Journal of Medicine.

Illustrated TCP-IP - A Graphic Guide To The Protocol Suite



John Wiley & Sons |-| ISBN 1-59327-076-3 |-| CHM |-| English |-| 499 Pages |-| 5.92 MB

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• The protocol suite of TCP/IP is becoming the world’s most widely implemented network protocol.
• 1970s—WANG
• 1980s—SNA / Novell NetWare
• 1990s—Novell and TCP/IP
• TCP/IP combined with the Web browser is creating a new type of client/server network operating system.
The TCP/IP protocol suite is being used for communications, whether for voice, video, or data. There is a new service being brought out for voice over IP at a consumer cost of 5.5 cents per minute. Radio broadcasts are all over the Web. Video is coming, but the images are still shaky and must be buffered heavily before displaying on the monitor. However, give it time. All great things are refined by time, and applications over TCP/IP are no exception.
Today, you will not find too many data communications installments that have not implemented or have not thought about the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP is becoming so common that it is not so much a matter of selecting the TCP/IP protocol stack as it is selecting applications that support it. Many users do not even know they are using the TCP/IP protocol. All they know is that they have a connection to the Web, which many people confuse with the Internet. We’ll get into the details of the differences later, but for now, you just need to understand that the Web is an application of the Internet. The Web uses the communications facilities of the Internet to provide for data flow between clients and servers. The Internet is not the Web and the Web is not the Internet.
In the 1970s, everyone had some type of WANG machine in their office. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Novell’s NetWare applications consumed every office. Today, NetWare continues to dominate the network arena with its installed based of client/server network applications. However, the TCP/IP protocol and Internet browsers, such as NetScape’s Navigator and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and Web programming languages are combining to produce powerful corporate networks known as intranets, which mimic the facilities of the Internet but on a corporate scale. Intranets from different companies or simply different sites can communicate with each other through the Internet. Consumers can access corporate intranets through an extranet, which is simply part of the corporate intranet that is available to the public. A great example of this is electronic commerce, which is what you use when you purchase something via the Internet. Directory services are provided through Domain Name Services (DNSs) Microsystems. File and print services are provided in many different ways. Finally, the ultimate in full connectivity is the Internet, which allows the corporate intranets to interconnect (within the same corporation or different corporations), providing global connectivity unmatched by any network application today. Therefore, within a short time (possibly 1998), very powerful applications will be built that utilize the TCP/IP software suite that will eventually rival NetWare at the core. ......................................

An Introduction to Neural Networks



Starch Press, Inc. |-| ISBN 1-59327-076-3 |-| PDF |-| English |-| 283 Pages |-| 3.57 MB |-| No Pass

Introduction
A First wave of interest in neural networks (also known as 'connectionist models' or 'parallel distributed processing') emerged after the introduction of simplied neurons by McCulloch and Pitts in 1943 (McCulloch & Pitts, 1943). These neurons were presented as models of biological neurons and as conceptual components for circuits that could perform computational tasks. When Minsky and Papert published their book Perceptrons in 1969 (Minsky & Papert, 1969) in which they showed the deciencies of perceptron models, most neural network funding was redirected and researchers left the eld. Only a few researchers continued their eorts, most notably Teuvo Kohonen, Stephen Grossberg, James Anderson, and Kunihiko Fukushima. The interest in neural networks re-emerged only after some important theoretical results were attained in the early eighties (most notably the discovery of error back-propagation), and new hardware developments increased the processing capacities. This renewed interest is re
ected in the number
of scientists, the amounts of funding, the number of large conferences, and the number of journals associated with neural networks. Nowadays most universities have a neural networks group, within their psychology, physics, computer science, or biology departments. Articial neural networks can be most adequately characterised as 'computational models' with particular properties such as the ability to adapt or learn, to generalise, or to cluster or organise data, and which operation is based on parallel processing. However, many of the abovementioned properties can be attributed to existing (non-neural) models; the intriguing question is to which extent the neural approach proves to be better suited for certain applications than existing models. To date an equivocal answer to this question is not found. Often parallels with biological systems are described. However, there is still so little known (even at the lowest cell level) about biological systems, that the models we are using for our articial neural
systems seem to introduce an oversimplication of the 'biological' models. In this course we give an introduction to articial neural networks. The point of view we take is that of a computer scientist. We are not concerned with the psychological implication of the networks, and we will at most occasionally refer to biological neural models. We consider neural networks as an alternative computational scheme rather than anything else. These lecture notes start with a chapter in which a number of fundamental properties are discussed. In chapter 3 a number of 'classical' approaches are described, as well as the discussion on their limitations which took place in the early sixties. Chapter 4 continues with the description of attempts to overcome these limitations and introduces the back-propagation learning algorithm. Chapter 5 discusses recurrent networks; in these networks, the restraint that there are no cycles in the network graph is removed. Self-organising networks, which require no external teacher, are
discussed in chapter 6. Then, in chapter 7 reinforcement learning is introduced. Chapters 8 and 9 focus on applications of neural networks in the elds of robotics and image processing respectively. The nal chapters discuss implementational aspects.

Its Never Done That Before - Guide to Troubleshooting WinXP



Starch Press, Inc. |-| ISBN 1-59327-076-3 |-| PDF |-| English |-| 283 Pages |-| 3.57 MB |-| No Pass

Introduction
This book was inspired by the cover of a Datamation magazine that appeared about 20 years ago. It shows a man in an office with what used to be a desktop computer on the table in front of him. The poor guy has his hands poised over the keyboard, but the rest of the machine is in tiny pieces all over the room. His eyebrows have been burned off, his hair is blown straight back, and his coffee cup has tipped over. There’s a huge cloud of black smoke over his head. It’s obvious that the computer exploded about five seconds earlier. He’s thinking, “It’s never done that before.” Most computer problems aren’t that violent or that dramatic, but the immediate result is often the same: you sit there in a state of shock, staring at the computer, saying to yourself, “What happened? What should I do now? It’s never done that before!” This book will tell you how to understand and fix most personal computer failures, whether they were caused by the computer hardware, by the Windows operating system, or by some other program running on the computer.
There’s not much you can do when your computer explodes except to sweep up the remains and open a window to let the smoke out of the room. But if Windows won’t start, or your hard drive breaks down, or you get a cryptic Blue Screen error message, or any of a jillion other things go wrong, you can almost always restore the machine to useful operation and recover most of your data if you take an organized approach to troubleshooting. The tools for understanding most computer problems are out there on the Internet, in manuals and user guides, and through both on- and offline communities of people who use similar equipment and programs. But they won’t do you any good unless you know where to find them. That’s what this book is for.
